Most chunnel journeys are faster than flying if you take the whole event into account rather than just the flying time. Travel to Heathrow, check in two hours before flight and wait, flight, wait for luggage and immigration, travel to European city...
Basic geography will tell you that unless the tectonic plates separate, the UK will always remain part of Europe. The UK is however leaving the EU. Scotland will likely remain part of the UK because not all Scots are as stupid as that bampot Sturgeon.
So you say I am talking BS and then go on to explain that you think it is legal to accuse someone of rape based solely on a desire to get them to take a STD test? Whether or not he has an STD is not in any way relevant to whether or not it was rape. It is extremely unlikely that he did anything illegal at any point but at worst he is being accused of being a cad. Given that the girls were happy with the encounter at the time and only became unhappy a year later, at the same time, it is extremely unlikely that the unhappiness is related to the event. A view that the initial prosecutor shared when the case was initially dropped. There never has been a charge so why was there an extradition request without a charge? You seem to be wrapped up in the idea that Sweden is above reproach but this whole case stinks.
Given that domestic power consumption is insignificant compared to industrial and commercial use, how relevant is this? How is power consumption overall affected?
Assange leads an average life, not too many sexual encounters but he does OK. One of his encounters evens brags about her conquest on Twitter. Then a year later, her and another ex press charges at the same time. Unlikely to be a coincidence. I am sure that if asked, you will lie and say you are always a saint when with a woman but this is not rape. This would never go forward as a case as it can never get past being an accusation. There is no case to answer as all he has to say is that it is not true and there is no evidence. It is just an attempt to get him into custody so he can be extradited to the US. Why not extradite him from the UK? The UK have a special agreement and never refuse to extradite. The only difference being that if extradited from Sweden the US does not have to agree not to execute him. It is not rape as sex was agreed upon. You are discussing the terms which makes it a civil case not a criminal case. If I buy a car from you and you make the sale conditional it does not become theft if I break those conditions but you may be able to make a civil case and sue me. Sex was agreed and the girls are saying that the terms and conditions were broken, that does not make it rape.
But is it ever anything we need? They do not seem to realise why their cheapest is the best seller and I do not believe it is price. In many ways it is their best model. They should try expanding the basic model range and see how that goes. Drop the CD slot but keep it basic and repairable.
He did but you are refusing to take look at TCO and choosing to cherry pick your data. The cost of good batteries makes them more expensive than petrol cars. If you work with TCO, electric cars are more expensive than petrol but Tesla are staggeringly more expensive than petrol. That is without taking the charging problems etc. into account. The problems will not be resolved in 8 years and denying their existence only makes it harder for the electric car industry.
You will end up with a group of companies installing their systems and you will have to pay them. Then when you travel you have to find a charging point that is provided by the same group as it will be too expensive to use a different group's charging point. In the UK they have several groups and each group charges about 10 UKP each month membership and a fee for the recharge. If you are stuck in a different town you have to pay a much higher fee to recharge with a different group. It is not economically viable to use an electric car for more than local (charged at home) journeys. Electric cars are great as long as it is not your main car and you have a garage to charge it in.
I am happy that a Tesla has managed 200,000 miles but you are missing a major part of the equation. Tesla cars cost stupid money and you could buy more than 200,000 miles worth of petrol with with the money you save by buying a petrol car. Tesla are leaking money at a ridiculous rate and could easily go bankrupt. That is without getting into the part about how and where does the average person recharge a car. The whole dream is based on everyone parking in a garage. Most people live in flats. This guy has obviously never travelled if he thinks that people in Manila will buy electric cars. Plug on in in the street and your charging cable will not be there in the morning. BTW, petrol did not win over steam, it won over electric. Before the model T most cars were electric. I do agree that electric will return but I do not agree with your maths or that it will happen in 8 years.
Tesla is a wonderful car that is extremely expensive and being sold at a loss. The company is likely to crash and burn. Even if they raise the price by 20% and start to turn a profit, they will remain a niche product for the rich. It is still cheaper to drive a petrol car when you consider TCO. Cheaper alternatives are arriving but even VW do not expect to have a full range until within 8 years. In most of the world you cannot recharge an electric vehicle away from your home and that is not going to change. Even in the UK you will have to go out of your way looking for a recharge point that works with your card. There is also the point that not everyone has somewhere to charge at home. If you live in an apartment and leave your car plugged in the local kids will unplug it.
That is private cars. Commercial vehicles have a whole raft of new problems. Private cars normally only do a few miles each day and it may be viable for a second car but for a commercial vehicle we do not have a viable alternative on the market yet. Electricity does not have the range and requires stopping to recharge. Fast recharges shorten battery life and therefore reliability. Hydrogen is great but people fear it and it is not available. This is not going to happen in 8 years but it will happen.
I hope that there will be a time in the future when we have hydrogen/electric hybrids that can do the day to day on electric and do the extended journeys using hydrogen but that is a distant dream. Current technology cannot replace petrol yet.
Apart from the basic fact that you cannot change it when it is compromised, and it will be, there is also that real problem in that they are extremely unreliable. You sweat and the scanner has trouble reading your fingerprint or you get an eye infection and the machine cannot recognise your iris. When we installed fingerprint scanner on all the POSs we had to remove them soon after as staff had to jam the tills open all the time because they kept failing to open when they should. Biometrics are a security risk that is not worth taking.
The people will immediately need to replace cash with some other token based system which will effectively become cash. It is not in the public's interest to phase out cash, it is about government control. How do you give your child pocket money? Tip to a beggar? Etc. etc. There are millions of situations where cash is best and a cashless society is not better in any way unless you are amongst the super rich or elite and making such decisions.
Given that no evidence is supplied in the story it is still a conspiracy theory. Given the long history of lies in order to create conflict it would be extremely stupid to accept what the US government says on face value.
"not enough to prove for certain they were working for the government of President Vladimir V. Putin" So we have no evidence but we want to blame Russia anyway because we do not like them.
Plea bargaining is illegal in the UK. If you were offered a lenient sentence for pleading guilty that means that you are not getting a fair trial. You are saying that people should be punished for claiming to be innocent. That sounds like a police state.
I love the way that they justify it by claiming that it will aid Britain's competitiveness in the digital era when it will likely do the opposite. A company does not need to be criminal to be wary of overly restrictive legal systems. The cost of auditing compliance can outweigh any benefit so it is safer and cheaper to run a legitimate business in a more relaxed legal environment.

In other words this is just an opinion. They could or they may not.

The story was trapped in permafrost for a year as well.

He said that English is losing its importance and then gave his speech in French? That sounds like a Monty Python joke.

Musk uses Scott toilet paper so it must be the best because he is obviously a genius although I have no idea why.
